Maker Faire Shenzhen China: Dangerous Prototypes booth

Seeed was kind enough to make us a banner. Lots of makers have these in the US, but we never think far enough ahead to get it done. Look for it in California and New York this summer.

Maker Faire Shenzhen was top-notch. They hooked us up with multiple translators so everyone felt comfortable communicating. This was a really classy touch that helped us, and the participants, forge better relationships and understanding. Here’s Sjaak, Wendy, and Ian. Wendy was our primary translator for most of the day.

There’s never a break from the crowds at any Maker Faire. Be prepared to talk non-stop, good luck getting lunch.
